Is there anyone here who is really good a Photoshop or some other graphics program and could do a few things for me?

1. Would be slamm the truck almost to the ground, few inches off. I doubt I'll ever be body dropped.
2. Mess with some colors for me?

I'm trying to come up with a plan/color scheme.
I'm building my truck for Shows and cruises... Just for fun, totally not practical I get it.
I want a color scheme that I like, not been beat to death and would stand out (in a good way) to judges hopefully.

I was on a family trip a few weeks ago and we went to this huge pay aquarium and I saw these small fish, the size of maybe a medium goldfish, maybe a bit bigger. They were this really cool shade of Blue and orange I can't describe. I mean, it was not like a light blue, almost a darker Hue, but was like a Neon Blue, It really Popped, then with that Bright ass Orange on the fins, it popped even more...

I was thinking make the whole truck that color, but then some kinda stripe down each side following across the front and the back, possible doing something in the bed, that same color.

Hope this makes sense... I could find a pic of the fishes I'm talking about if it would help.

Thanks.

Hoping this will spark some more excitement and get me back motivated again.
I've been dealing with some complications from my Dia Beetus for a bit now and it has me less than motivated... Its like no mater how good I eat, or what I do, parts of me still suffer from this crap.

I have photoshop and use it every six months or so, I’m not that skilled at it so it takes alot of time to relearn how to use it. I was thinking about redoing my pic but I have so many other things going on it’s not high on my priorities list. Working on other’s stuff is difficult when you have your own stuff to work on. Also, it’s not real clear what you’re expecting from your description.

I can get that... I have it, or had it. My laptop just died with it. But even with it, I could convert from Gif to JPG or JPG to Gif or whatever, Shrink, Crop, Rotate, basic image manipulation, but as far as any skills on editing an image or making something worth looking at I'm out...

Basically, I was hoping for someone to drop/lower a square pretty dang low, not body dropped.
Figure out the color Blue I was referring too, then add either a Pin strip or some type of stripe/graphics in that Orange color as I was talking about..

I have a 2000 S10 Blazer thats lowered and all done up, won lots of shows with it (Crappy shape now) and years ago someone took a picture I had posted of it and took off my Ghost Flames and somehow they made it two tone, where the bottom half was the same Maroon color it was, then did the top half in a Silver, but separated the top and bottom by a tribal stripe... It looked pretty cool. I've seen lots of folks do stuff like this, for ideas and inspiration.

I just don't have any artistic or photoshopistic skills of my own to try something like that...

I figured with the wide range of folks we have here, maybe someone might...

Throwing up a picture of your truck might help get it started. But most guys that are proficient at it charge for it. I just paid to have a couple renderings done on my truck.

Here's a couple color ideas though. The little S10 in front I believe
is painted Ford Grabber Blue from the '11-up Mustangs

I don't know what color this C10 is, I saved this picture a long time ago. But it looks similar to House of Kandy's Tagelo Pearl

Here's a factory Hugger Orange truck

Blue and orange would be hard to pull off together, this is one of the few vehicles I've ever seen with both of those colors on it

Fiverr. You can hire talent for under $50, many times even less, to do what you want. Be careful though sometimes there's a language barrier. Look for highly rated sellers and at their portfolios. You need someone with photoshop and illustrator skills. If I was further in the process I might have taken the challenge, but I'm still learning to crawl in the software. One day soon though I will be a signmaker dealing in automotive signs for home garages. No more having the same tin garage sign as 10 of your buddies. Full 3D custom art pieces will be the name of the game!

Its hard to describe the colors I'm looking for, then tey differ between monitors, video cards and phone screens...

If this willl let me, I'm going to post a few pics I found.

The Blue of the tribal is the color I was thinking for the whole truck, then the orange would be the tribal or some other graphic/stripe...
I'd kinda like it to go all the way around the truck. Maybe something on the hood and the length of the bed in the middle... Hope that makes sense..

The more I look at that the more its actually growing on me as it is...

Not sure what color I'd do the interior...
